The University of Colorado at Boulder moved its winter commencement today from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. to allow students and parents more time to make their way to campus, according to a statement from CU-Boulder chancellor G.P. “Bud” Peterson.

The commencement ceremony is at the Coors Events/Conference Center, where about 2,000 students are to graduate. CU crews worked to clear campus parking lots, but parking may be more difficult than usual, the statement said.

For Denver Public Schools, individual schools will make decisions about grades and finals. In some cases, the fall grading period will be extended into January to make sure students take final exams before grades are assigned. Parents should hear from their child’s school by phone or e-mail.
